ONE TICKET IN LA JUNTA WINS $1 MILLION POWERBALL PRIZE

PUEBLO – One lucky ticket sold in La Junta won $1 million in Saturday’s Powerball drawing. The ticket holder earned the $1 million prize by matching five numbers and selecting the Power Play option for an additional $1. The ticket was purchased at Uptown Music and Video, 301 Santa Fe Ave., La Junta. The store will receive $3,000 for selling the $1 million-winning ticket.

There was no jackpot winner in Saturday’s drawing, so the jackpot will rise to an estimated $27 million for Wednesday’s drawing. The winning numbers were: 13, 30, 32, 38, 57 and the Powerball number was 25. Colorado was the only state participating in Powerball that had a $1 million Powerball winner in Saturday’s drawing. This is the third time this year that a player in Colorado has won $1 million on Powerball.
